Id Mubarak, to all dear friends and readers.
The holy month of Ramzaan comes to a close. A time of slowing down, a time for reflection, a time for meditation, a time for study of the Holy Qu’raan, and a time for learning. And more importantly, a time for forgiveness, and a time for charity. It has been a month of prayers – prayers for peace, prayers for amity, prayers for friendship and benevolence.

Gulzar’s third film, as a director, Parichay (1972) has often been accused of being a copy of The Sound of Music (1963). I think that this is too much of an exaggeration, since the only common thing between the stories of the two films being a teacher, who wins over his unruly wards. That is a common theme enough in films and novels. The whole context and the treatment of the story is completely different. All said and done one can’t deny that the song saa re ke saa re has a similarity to doe a deer. The similarity is not in the tune but in the sense that both songs explain the seven notes of music.
